Default Running steel shot through a stoger condor

Has anyone with a stoger condor had any troubles running steel shot say #2 shot and smaller through an standard extended improved modified choke? This would be for a 20ga.

I don't think you'd have a problem. The Stoger Condors for sale in the last few years are all steel capable. But I think that's a bit too much choke for steel.

I have been shooting steel out of a an Ithaca SKB 100 for years. Both chokes are modified. The largest shot I use is BB.

I'm not worried about the gun it self shooting steel rather the choice of choke. I recently purchased 2 improved mod chokes for it as I shoot an have best results with improved mod chokes in 12ga

Lead will pattern tighter in a IMPMOD choke than steel will, so maybe check it first.
You may very well find that IC works better with the bigger shot sizes.

In my BPS I use an IC or LM but not any higher. In my O/U I go IC/M but that is with lead.
